Chapter Twenty Three

When I woke up the next morning, the sky was only just turning gray over the horizon. I was still naked the waist up and the sheets covered my chest lazily. I opened my eyes groggily to search for my husband. He wasn't in the bed beside me.

I sat up holding the covers to my chest as I listened to the running shower. In what kind of mood would Daniel return to the bedroom? The husband in need of his woman's comfort or a man who despised his wife?

The water stopped and I pulled the sheets up higher to cover up my breasts as much as I could. I'm sure he had pleasured them enough during the night because he had his arm draped over them like his favorite teddy bear. I remembered being hot and bothered due to the way he kept pulling me flush against his body. He had been hard the whole night, I could feel him breathing hotly against my neck every time I made an attempt to adjust in his hold. When nothing worked I let my body get acquainted with his touch and feel. It almost felt natural.
